Spotted in Bristol

Post by AdamH » 18:29 Thursday 29th August 2024

Yesterday I was sent to Bristol Parkway Railway Station on a photographic assignment for Stagecoach, and while I was there 69436 arrived. Back in 2017, I was sent to Leicester depot to collect this after it's refurbishment. The green livery is not looking quite so crisp after 7 years!

I had a meeting in Bristol a few weeks ago and ended up sat behind 69436 in traffic. It looked really tatty and a far cry from the pristine spotless condition it was in when I collected in from Leicester depot back in 2017. Tried to get a photo while we were stationary in traffic but the camera focused on the windscreen wipers. Useful!

...... No sooner mentioned, than ... two of the Wright bodied Volvo saloons that were ours, are now back on the patch at WR, -- along with one StreetLite and one StreetDeck.

I expect these and others that might appear during the school holiday, will be going for repaints soon.
